nice jacket dude....wondering why did not get the smaller size???

[DimSumJim]

@dicewear1 thanks. yeah i didn't really notice at first. when brand new, it fit really nug. after a few months, i started to notice it was losing the snug that i used to have with it. i could probably fit an XS. it's unfortunate they don't make leathers in my size for men though = T

What is the use of the bag? Is it sometimes used as a back protector? cuz i find alot of motorcyclist carrying them. ... great review ;)

[DimSumJim]

@bullseye9572 i wouldn't want to say it's a back protector substitute, but it has definitely worked as one before when i took a fall once. Low speed though. i still use it as a normal school bag. can't use it to hold more than one textbook, but it'll hold your laptop which is... basically the only thing i bring to class on most days lol

hey im going to buy a motorcycle in a few mounths.... Do you know if need a differant license or can you use a car driver license.... and do you motorcycle that tell when to shift gears

[DimSumJim]

@wvwJOCKERwvw I think it varies from state to state. However, it's always better to have your license (cheaper insurance & more experience) before you buy a motorcycle. I had to show my license when I purchased (but motorcycle qualification was not needed). Modern bikes do tend to tell you when to shift if you program it into your speedometer via bright light. You won't learn from just watching videos and listening to friends. Take the class.

Excellent video Bro you broke this part down real thorough

@DimSumJim your jacket fit really doesn't look that bad, am sorry i mentioned it. i think you can mostly appreciate the perfect tighter fit is when going fast and/or track because of the better aerodynamics.

stay safe buddy.....
